“ Arco da Lapa ”

Reviewed Dec 25, 2013

by yulie (5 reviews) , Canada

Well situaded, close to "arco da lapa" and 5 min walk to the center (metro station : Cinelandia). In front of the hotel, big grocery store, very useful. Small swiming pool on the top with sauna and sun deck ; apreciate after long walk in town.

... did not however have any black tea. We left the hotel at 9:30 and made our way to the port. It was already incredibly hot - I heard someone say it was 40 degrees. However, once the speed boat started moving it cooled right down as we were battered by the wind. For once, the tour company who was meeting us off the speed boat was on time and the bus was air conditioned. We were sharing it again with the group we met in Paraty.

From experience this will most likely be very hit and miss going forward so I'm enjoying it whilst I have it. Rio de Janeiro is a stunning, bustling city full ...

... spectacular fashion. Not content to just fire a warning shot and dampen their toes first, the surf totally engulfed them. Shocked, they scrambled to their feet. They were soaked, along with their bags, throw and map. Unfortunately, the man's smartphone was also broken (probably permanently). I don't know what they were thinking. We took the bus back to Leblon, went out to do some chores and then had lunch. This afternoon, we started to think about packing to leave and ...

... Proudly showing off my fake Vasco shirt I bought on the beach we joined 66 thousand people to witness the final with hated rivals Botafogo. The result was 2-1 to Vasco and they were crowned the champions. The atmosphere was amazing with some great banter going back and forth between the fans. After the game there was no violence which shows the steps South America have taken to eradicate hooliganism (although it still exists) We have loved our time in Rio and this is ...
